272 What Kind of Fate
Fang Xiaonuan continued to ramble, “Mom, I think you must have been blessed by the heavens. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? You must’ve seen me and liked me, so you let me be best friends with your grandson and daughter, right?”
“Then, you realized that your son didn’t even have a girlfriend, so you decided to let me be your son’s wife.”
“Mom, you really have good taste. This marriage is really good for us. My husband is good in every way, but he has a cold heart. My heart is warm, so I ended up being able to warm my husband’s heart.”
“Although we didn’t have the chance to meet, I think you’d definitely like me if you were still here. You already like me. If I sit on the floor and chat with you, you won’t mind, right?” After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan rubbed her knees. She had been kneeling for a long time, and her legs were numb.
Ji Lingchen quickly stood up and pulled his wife up. “If you can’t kneel, then don’t. Mom won’t be angry.”
Fang Xiaonuan was finally able to relax her knees, but standing for a long time would also tire her out. Thus, she simply sat down on the cushion and crossed her legs, as if she was meditating. She then leaned her body against her husband’s body, which was much more comfortable. After a while, she fell asleep. In the end, she fell asleep on her husband’s lap like a kitten.
In the dark room, Ji Lingchen faced his mother’s memorial tablet for the first time without a sense of loneliness and guilt.
“Mom, I’ve found Xiaoyu. I finally don’t feel guilty when I see you. Xiaonuan is a lively and adorable person. With her by my side, I don’t feel lonely anymore. I’ve been looking for Xiaoyu for 15 years, and she’s kept me going for these 15 years as well. It’s time to change.” As he spoke, he caressed his little wife’s face.
In the wee hours of the morning, Fang Xiaonuan, who was sleeping soundly, was carried back to her room by her husband. When she woke up, she was already on her bed.
Fang Xiaonuan scratched her head and asked, “Huh? I was chatting with my husband and mother-in-law, right? How did I get back?”
She had already changed into her pajamas. It must have been her husband who loved to take advantage of her.
Just as she was about to get off the bed, Ji Lingchen pushed the door open and entered. “You’re awake.”
“Yeah, when did you carry me back?”
“Your mother-in-law must have been worried that you’ll catch a cold. She asked me to carry you back,” Ji Lingchen replied.
Ji Lingchen had a smile on his face ever since he found his sister.
He kissed his wife who had just woken up and said, “Xiaonuan, you’re my lucky charm.”
Fang Xiaonuan, however, said in an unromantic manner, “Hubby, don’t praise me so much. If I make you angry in the future, you’ll think that I’m more of a jinx than a lucky charm!”
“I won’t,” Ji Lingchen replied.
“Hubby, you can’t be so sure. I can’t even control my ability to anger people,” Fang Xiaonuan said.
Ji Lingchen chuckled.
When Fang Xiaonuan was washing up with her husband, she asked him, “Hubby, are you going to tell Xiaoyu now?”
There were still many things that Ji Lingchen had yet to investigate. Now that he had found his sister, he could finally relax. If he were to act rashly, he was worried that it would upset his sister.
Ji Lingchen calmly analyzed the current situation, then said to his wife, “Xiaonuan, can you take me to the Liu family’s home?”
“Sure, no problem,” Fang Xiaonuan replied.
After washing up, she picked up her school bag and went to school.
Seeing Liu Siyu again, Fang Xiaonuan’s feelings for her became more potent. After all this, her best friend had become her sister-in-law. She rested her chin on her hand and stared at her.
“What are you looking at me for?”
Fang Xiaonuan asked, “What kind of dogsh*t fate do you think the three of us have?”
Liu Siyu said, “Please say something I’ll understand!”
Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and kept her mouth shut. It was not that she meant to keep it from her. It was that her husband had deliberately instructed her not to tell Xiaoyu first. He was afraid to agitate his sister.
For some reason, Fang Xiaonuan felt that even the winter sun was warm when she found out that her best friend was her sister-in-law. Even the cold air seemed to have turned warm.
Feeling joyful, Fang Xiaonuan ate a thousand-layer durian cake for lunch and rice noodles in the afternoon. Then, she bought a large portion of stinky tofu after school. She ate it as she walked.
Liu Siyu was still limping. She asked in confusion, “Xiaonuan, what has you in such a good mood? Why did you eat so much today?”
“Oh, something great happened at home.” As she spoke, Fang Xiaonuan stuffed two pieces of stinky tofu into her mouth.
The person who took her home was Ji Lingchen.
The person who came to pick Liu Siyu up had also arrived. It was Liu Siyan.
